The powerful, and rather large, norn treasure strength and closeness to nature. They have no traditional deities, instead looking to the Spirits of the Wild. They hail from Tyria’s frozen peaks and are adept hunters. They can also shapeshift into animalistic forms. In recent years, the norn have built the snowy city of Hoelbrak into somewhat of a capital city.

Like Humans have bandits and the like, the Norn nation has it's own problems; when the Elder DragonJormag rose in the Far Shiverpeaks, where the Norn had lived until then, some took the Serpent's incredible power as a sign, and adopted a new religion, calling themselves the Sons of Svanir. They are the fanatics, worshipping the Great Serpent with sacrifices and offerings, each more macabre then the other. While not all Sons of Svanir are equally brutal and hostile towards their Norn brothers, most live as outsiders, keeping to themselves while passing through villages and lodges, and otherwise gathering in their own settlements. Skirmishes with the Sons of Svanir are common in the Norn lands, and one would do best to avoid being noticed by them when outside of Hoelbrak.
